We are governed by a board of trustees, many of whom have first-hand experience of fertility issues.

They provide the charity with a valuable skill set to help us meet our aims and objectives.

Louise Jones
Trustee

I am thrilled to join Fertility Network UK as a Trustee. I am passionate about making sure that all workplaces can be a place of compassion and empathy for anyone who maybe experiencing any kind of fertility challenge. Having had personal experience of this roller coaster of a ride, I know first hand how important it is that employers and charitable organisations are there to offer support, guidance, and advocacy. I hope to bring my professional experience in project delivery in the local government, housing and infrastructure sectors to ensure that Fertility Network UK is at the forefront of the change needed to ensure that everyone has a voice.

Laura Jakilaitis
Trustee

I'm a senior healthcare leader and registered nurse with a background in mental health, clinical governance, and patient safety. My own experience with fertility challenges has been deeply personal and emotional, and I know how overwhelming and isolating the journey can be. I became a trustee to advocate for others facing similar struggles and to help ensure that everyone has access to the support, understanding, and care they deserve. I’m passionate about improving fertility awareness and pushing for positive, inclusive change.
